Personal question · Resilience, Professionalism

Still expected on time

A parent in the hospital, a breakup under the same roof, an eviction notice, a newborn who will not sleep. Meanwhile an employer, an instructor or a team still expects you on time and prepared.

The two questions

  1. 1Tell us about a hard period at home during which you still had to meet responsibilities elsewhere. How did you manage both?
  2. 2What did you tell the people who were relying on you, and looking back, is there anything you felt you should have handled differently?

What raters look for

Resilience
Recovers from setbacks, manages stress constructively, and learns from failure.
Professionalism
Is reliable, respects boundaries and confidentiality, and holds a consistent standard under pressure.
